Stepan Ryabchenko

Stepan Ryabchenko (1987) is a Ukrainian artist who works with various mediums. With the help of bright installations, sculptures, and paintings, the artist creates his universe, inhabited by surreal creatures, fantastic plants, and animals - a reflection of an alternative reality where everything functions according to his rules. Ryabchenko's works are part of many private collections, including the Abramovych Foundation, Artsvit Gallery, Grynyov Art Collection, Korban Art Foundation, Luciano Benetton Collection, Sky Art Foundation, Stedley Art Foundation, Triumph Gallery, Voronov Art Foundation, Lars Malmberg Collection, Luciano Benetton Collection, Firtash Foundation, Arts Trend Company, Zenko Foundation. In 2021, the British publication Electric Artefacts included him in the list of the best digital artists. 

In his creative pursuits, Stepan Ryabchenko studies new computer technologies and their limitless possibilities. "Electronic Marshmallow" is a fragment of the "Electronic Winds" project. As a base of the project, the artist takes ancient Greek myths, translates them into the language of digital technologies, and seeks relations between the real and the virtual. Stepan Ryabchenko creates his mythology of the virtual universe as the only place where you can be truly free.
